Early life[edit]
Gauri was born in Delhi to Punjabi Hindu parents Savita and Colonel Ramesh Chandra
Chhibber who belong to Hoshiarpur.[4] She was raised in the suburb of Panchsheel Park,
Delhi.[5] She completed her schooling at Loreto Convent School, she completed twelfth
from Modern School, Delhi; and graduated from Lady Shri Ram College with B.A.
(Hons.). She also completed a six-month course in fashion design from the National
Institute of Fashion Technology[1] and learnt tailoring due to her father's garment
business.[citation needed]

Career[edit]
In 2002, Khan and her husband Shah Rukh Khan established the film production and
distribution company Red Chillies Entertainment.[6] It was transformed from the now
defunct Dreamz Unlimited which the couple first established in 1999. She serves as co-
chairperson and the main producer of all the films produced under the banner. The first
film she produced was Farah Khan's directorial debut Main Hoon Na. The film
performed well at the box office, becoming the second highest-grossing film of the year.
She also made a guest appearance in one of the films she has produced Om Shanti
Om (2007)
She is managed by the Bottomline Media, and close confidante and friend Tanaaz
Bhatia from NYC. [7] Khan also designed a fashion collection titled 'Cocktails and
Dreams' for Satya Paul in 2016.[8]
Khan first expressed interest in interior design as a hobby while renovating
her Bandra bungalow, Mannat at Lands End, Siraj Dokadia Road. [9] The bungalow is a
tourist spot and a heritage building deemed important to the townscape and hence
exempt from demolition. However, in 2010, she professionally ventured into interior
designing in partnership with interior designer and close friend Sussanne Khan to
design exclusive interior projects together. [10] The same year, they collaborated on their
first commercial project together in Vadodara.[10] In 2011, Khan (Gauri) partnered with
Khan (Sussanne) again to launch and introduce The Charcoal Project foundation in
Mumbai.[11]

Khan launched her first concept store called The Design Cell located in Worli, Mumbai
in early 2014. The store showcases furniture designed by Khan herself as well as

the Maison et Objet show in Paris.[13]
In August 2017, Khan launched her design studio, Gauri Khan Designs that spans over
{cvt|8,700|sqft}} at Juhu, Mumbai.[14] Khan has collaborated with various international
artists including Roberto Cavalli and Ralph Lauren for home accessories.[15] In a 2017
interview with Vogue India, Khan spoke about her project, she said "It’s been an exciting
experience, seeing it all come together. I’ve been influenced by my travels across India
and the globe. I take a keen interest in the architecture of places when I travel." [16] For
her work in the field of interior design, Khan was awarded with the Excellence in Design
Award at the Hello! Hall of Fame Awards in 2018. [17]
In 2017, Khan curated a collection of designer lights for TISVA, a premium home
decorative lighting brand from Usha International Limited which introduced smart-control
magnetic systems—launched for the first time in India. [18]
In the media[edit]

Khan is known for keeping a low profile and being media shy, though she is often cited
as one of the most stylish women in Bollywood. [19] She appeared on the cover of page of
the popular Indian lifestyle magazine, Vogue India in January 2008. The photos were
taken by the well-known British lifestyle photographer Chris Craymer. The magazine
called her the "First Lady of Bollywood".[20] She appeared again on the cover page
of Vogue India along with Sussanne Khan in April 2012. She also walked the ramp
alongside her husband for filmmaker turned fashion designer Karan Johar at the HDIL
India Couture Week 2009.[21]

brand, D'decor along with her husband. The couple play themselves in the commercial.
